- let's say that you have a file "Märchen" on just about *any* other OS
than OS X. It could be Latin1 or it could be Unicode, but even if it is
Unicode, I can almost guarantee that the 'ä' is going to be the
*single* Unicode character U+00e4 (utf-8: "\xc3\xa4", latin1: "\xe4")
So from a cross-OS standpoint, that's the *common* representation, and
yes, you can create the file that way (I don't know what happens if you
actually create it with the Latin1 encoding, but I would not be
surprised if OS X notices that it's not a valid UTF sequence and
assumes it's Latin1 and converts it to Unicode)
FWIW: I just made a test and it seems that MacOS X refuses the creation
of a file with this invalid name.
Anybody want to creat a compat layer around "readdir()" that does that NFC
conversion on OS X but not elsewhere?
Maybe I'll try it.
